Oleg Kalnichevski commented on HTTPCORE-321:
--------------------------------------------
I moved the JCIP-ANNOTATIONS related section from LICENSE.txt in httpclient to
LICENSE.txt in httpcore, which was basically my fault in the first place. If
you think more needs to be done to make HttpCore legally compliant with the
requirements of CCAL please feel free to tweak things in SVN or contribute a
patch.

> Key: HTTPCORE-321
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCORE-321
> Project: HttpComponents HttpCore
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 4.2.1, 4.2.2
> Reporter: Kevan Miller
>
> Reviewing the license information for httpcore-4.2.1.jar raised a few issues
> that I thought should be raised.
> The LICENSE.txt file for the HTTP Components 4.2.1 release contains:
> "This project contains annotations derived from JCIP-ANNOTATIONS
> Copyright (c) 2005 Brian Goetz and Tim Peierls.
> See http://www.jcip.net and the Creative Commons Attribution License
> (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5)"
> Presumably, this covers the four files contained within
> org/apache/http/annotation/. I also assume that the above is intended to
> convey that these files are CC-A licensed. If this is correct, IMO, the
> LICENSE.txt should be explicit about what files are CC-A licensed and should
> be explicit that the files are CC-A licensed.
> The LICENSE.txt contained within the httpcore-4.2.1.jar does not contain the
> above license information. Since httpcore contains the
> org/apache/http/annotation classes, consumers of the httpcore jar may be
> misled as to the licensing of the contents of the jar.
> IMO, LICENSE.txt for httpcore should be updated with the JCIP-Annotations
> licensing information. I'd also think that the licensing information should
> be more explicit (documenting what files are CC-A licensed and clearly state
> that the files are CC-A licensed).
